MSNBC’s The Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell ganged up with Vox editor Ezra Klein Thursday night to discuss recent developments in the on-going showdown between President Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
O’Donnell opened the topic by sardonically stating; “One of the developments today was the President taking time to publicly proclaim he’s not the crazy one.” Taking the ever favored side of Crazy Nancy, O’Donnell and Klein laughed over Trump’s defending himself with Klein quipping, “so things are going great in American democracy I guess.”

Klein cited The New York Times comparing Trump’s actions on Wednesday to those of a dictatorship. Klein also said; “It was a scary moment watching him herd his own staff into a room to publicly testify to his own state of mind…It was strange, and given the fact that the guy has his hands on a nuclear weapon, it’s troubling.”
One wonders if it’s more troubling then the media’s apparent memory lapse of Pelosi’s “intervention” comment, but then it appears that in the eyes of the press, diagnosing Trump is one of Pelosi’s gifts.
Klein later stated; “…I think Nancy Pelosi, who has his psychology pegged perfectly since the beginning, is doing a quite nice job baiting him into it step by step”. According to Klein, Pelosi’s impeachment master-plan is falling into place and the liberal media is all here for it. Klein also opinioned that: “…she’s moved him into a place where I think he is building support both in her caucus and I suspect over time in the country.”

LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: And joining us now, Ezra Klein. He’s the editor at large at Vox and he hosts of the podcast, The Ezra Klein Show. Ezra, there’s so much to cover here tonight. One of the developments today was the president taking time to publicly proclaim he’s not the crazy one here.
EZRA KLEIN: So things are going great in American democracy I guess.
O’DONNELL: Yes, I didn’t know quite how to put that.
KLEIN: There’s a nice line in The New York Times piece about that in the moments he began going around the room. And if you have not looked at this video, by the way, you at home, go online and look at this. The New York Times had this side in their piece saying in a ritual rarely seen in a democracy, it looked like the kind of Potemkin moment you see in dictatorships. It was a scary moment watching him herd his own staff into a room to publicly testify to his own state of mind and as you say, publicly rebut a claim that was not actually made about him. It was strange and given the fact that the guy has his hands on a nuclear weapon, it’s troubling.
FU LO and EK.
You’re both a couple of gay lovers.
Media nitwits and lairs GONE WILD!!!
That is literally every show on MSNBC and CNN, every day, all day.
Fake news.
They roll this one out about every three months.
What IS troubling to me is that anyone, who is of reasonably normal IQ, believes anything on MSNBC, as that is nothing more or less than a “house organ” of/for the LEFTIST/extremist wing of the DIMocRATS Party & other FAR LEFT socialist groups.
Yours, TMN78247
Republicans finally have an alpha male who stands up to the demonrats childish shenanigans.
But babbling incoherent Pelosi and biden is ok
Something tells me that we should be getting a fair amount of pleasure over listening to these people and watching them tie themselves in knots. How do they get out of the mess they put themselves in? I don’t know and I don’t really care except it will be mighty fun watching!!!
“No matter what we do, he just wont submit to our talking points!”
“I know, right? All the other repubs always submitted to our talking points. What makes him so special?”
“Maybe he’s sick?”
Thank you President Trump!
Carry on......
Trump trolls them...again.....
They all bite.....again....
Good catch! The guy is in full meltdown!
Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
The headline should read:
MSNBC’s Behavior "Strange," "Troubling"
Obama operatives from the Shadow White House.
Trump just needs to “pull an Obama” and calmly tell the Democrat congressional leaders, “I’m president, you’re not. Elections have consequences.” Then push his chair back and watch them freak out.
